Frimjob

The Aldi knock offs used to be banging. Now they’re three times more expensive and 33% smaller.
 
A nice big slab of Cadbury's Dairy Milk containing bits of Daim bar - now that's the dog's.

Agreed. There's a b&m next to the Odeon I go to and they dig out the more esoteric cadburys dairy milk bars. Thursday was Final Destination and Cadburys Daim. Both very good. Yesterday was The Phoenician Scheme and a Cadburys Biscoff. I've gotta say you wouldn't have the Biscoff as a regular but it was really great. The crispy cinnamon biscuit bits a fine contrast to Wes Anderson's pastel pallette.
 
Was The Phoenician Scheme any good?

It was Wes by numbers. If you like his film he's made it again. Final Destination was Wes by numbers too. Craven this time. Ok I know he didn't make any of them but it's got his fingerprints all over it. We both loved the Final Destination reboot.

On Phoenician Scheming, I really enjoyed the paradoxically gentle austere vibe, much more than the last one, it was more fun, the actors were better, but it didn't really add up to to anything so it was just to be enjoyed for how good it looked and how it made you feel in the moment.

Get the feeling that his style is suited better to short films these days. The Henry Sugar one he did recently was probs his best work for a long while.

Edit: yeah he's a much better director than writer. Should stick to making movies based on classic quirky books.

Tried the Biscoff one the other day. Couldn't taste much Biscoff but liked the bar anyway because of the crunchy texture.
